Sharabelle bakes

I don't like to write bad reviews. Anyone can have an off day and I do not believe in judging a place based on one visit alone.  However this is now the Third  visit  that I have been less than impressed. Okay the positives first: It's one of the few places that I can go with my friends and family and find something I can both eat and drink.  - They have a great selection of Suki Teas , I especially love the herbal ones. - They Stock Lazy day foods Gluten free, Wheat free, Dairy free, egg free and vegan products.  My favourite is the Belgium dark chocolate Tiffin. - They have soya milk available. Negatives:   Last time I was there and ordered hot chocolate with soya milk, the cup I was given wasn't filled to the top and the saucer had a chip in it.  It also took them a long time to serve both my mother and myself. Then finding a clean table was a bit difficult.  Things happen I work in the catering sect...

Review North East Winner of the 2015 - The Scottish Independent Retail Award for Coffee shop of the year Independent Retail Awards The positive side of having to work every Saturday, is that I always get a day off during the week.  Perfect for meeting my mum for coffee or tea and a relaxing read of the daily newspapers.   Instead of heading for our usual place we drove to Milnathort, and a place my mum had read about in the Fife Gazette - Kelty and Cowdenbeath Edition. Heaven Scent Coffee Shop  more than lived up to our expectations.   Eating out when you have food intolerances is not easy at the best of times, however I was really impressed with the amount of choice this café had on their menu.  The Café it's self is lovely, light and airy, with quirky decorations.  You immediately feel welcomed by the space and the staff.  They have a Separate Gluten Free menu available on request at the counter.  Along with a wide sele...

Finally something to eat other than Popchips or Sweet and salty popcorn.... Met a friend for coffee today at Starbucks Dunfermline. Love this branch of the chain, the staff are always friendly and helpful.   I usually treat myself too a soya milk chai latte.  I'm lactose intolerant and don't really feel guilty about the calories since they never have anything I can eat.  Going out for a peppermint tea just doesn't have the same ring too it..... While waiting in the queue I'm always looking at the Impulse buys at the till, to see if I can eat them. Today it finally paid off....  Starbucks have a new snack range that's Free from gluten, wheat and dairy.  - Starbucks Raw raspberry and nut bar - Starbucks Peanut and Cashew bar Starbucks Spring 2015 - revamp I'm a big fan of Nakd Bars   and Starbucks new range follow the same idea of a healthy treat.  I had the Raw raspberry and nut bar, it tasted go...

Sainsbury's Free From Hot Cross Buns It's been 5 years since iv had a Hot Cross Bun, that's how long Iv excluded yeast from my diet. The best  I ever tasted came from a small family bakery's in  Inverurie where my grandmother lived.  Iv recently come to the conclusion that I might not be yeast intolerant, but rather wheat intolerant.  My mum noticed that my IBS symptoms were always worse when Id been eating a lot of baked goods.  So for the next 2 months I'm going on an exclusion diet to find out.  The negative side is that Iv now cut out a lot of foods, from an already limited group.  The positive is that it's open up a whole other side. So when I discovered on a trip to Sainsbury's that they had Gluten free, wheat free & dairy free hot cross buns I just had to buy them.  Smell: The aroma of the spices as the hot cross bun is toasted  was divine. Well worth the 5 year wait since my last one Taste: ...

Carpal tunnel decompression menu Along with my other ailments I have Carpal Tunnel syndrome in both wrists.  Basically a trapped nerve, however between managing my mental health problems and Digestive problems it's always been pretty far down my list of things to worry about.  So when I did finally get it checked out I got told the only way to help was an operation.  Decompression sounds pretty non invasive, for surgery that involves cutting a ligament in your wrist.  I admit the idea pretty much freaked me out, however the surgery it self was quick and only needed a local anaesthetic.  The only pain Iv had following the surgery is when I forget I'm not to use my hand. The worst part has been is that Iv not able to cook or bake properly for the last week. Which is pretty much my idea of torture.!!! I don't eat pre-made meals unless Iv cooked them myself, so Iv been using up my homemade  freezer supplies.  I usually tel...

Nando's Fife Leisure park Dunfermline My friend lucked out and got some vouchers for eating at Nando's.  So she decided to invite a few of us out for a meal.  Of course, with me the invitation was a little different... Can you eat anything at Nando's? To my surprise, after reading their website it turned out that I could.  When you think of Nando's, chicken is the first thing that comes to my mind.  Not great vegetarian food. The menu is probably one of the easiest Iv come across to check out allergy information on.  The list covers dietary preferences like vegetarian and vegan as well. It also breaks down the calories for each food, so you can make an informed choice in what you can eat.  I loved the fact that you could choose your side dish, I get annoyed when the only option is chips or potatoes.  I had the Veggie burger in a wrap with chilli jam and avocado .  I let the waiter know I was lactose intole...
